Notes
In case you need instructions on how to steam vegetables stovetop, follow the instructions found in one of my similar recipes, namely “Steamed Vegetables Salad Lunch Box”.
Serve this vegetable salad with a slice of sourdough bread or Danish rye bread.
Feel free to include your favorite pantry essentials. Things like different kinds of olives, walnuts or cashews instead of pecans, or a few slices of brie cheese. All of these are great ideas for upgrading this salad further.
Store this salad in the fridge for 2-3 days, and make sure to use an airtight container.
